Automatic Oxygen Flow Control for Wastewater Treatment
Automated 1.5” Oxygen Flow Controller (1.5” OFC)
Description / Function:
The 1.5" Oxygen Flow Controller OFC provides automated oxygen flow control to maintain a user-set dissolved oxygen level in an aeration basin for wastewater treatment. The 1.5" model will accommodate higher flow rates than our other model.
Dissolved oxygen concentration measurements are taken using a luminescent dissolved oxygen sensor. This high tech sensor is unaffected by pH, hydrogen sulfide, heavy metals, wastewater chemicals, and organic buildup. Periodic wiping of the sensor face is all that is required for accurate operation. Frequent calibration is not required.
The dissolved oxygen level is transmitted to the process controller which compares the current dissolved oxygen level to a user preset level, and adjusts the output signal to the proportional flow control regulator. This regulator controls the flow of pure oxygen to the aerator in the aeration basin, thus adjusting the dissolved oxygen level to the set point. An inline flow meter is used to monitor the oxygen usage rate.
